Summerset buys third property in Victoria for retirement village

Summerset today announced the purchase of property in the desirable suburb of Chirnside
Park, northeast Melbourne. This is the New Zealand retirement village operator’s third
acquisition in Victoria since September 2019.

The proposed NZD$170 million retirement village will offer over 200 retirement units, ranging
from one to three-bedrooms and including independent and supported living arrangements. The
village will have a care centre and specialist memory care centre for people living with dementia.
Amenities for residents will include a bowling green, swimming pool, café, hairdressing and
beauty salon.

Summerset Chief Executive, Julian Cook, said Chirnside Park was a sought-after area for
retirement living with few quality options available.

“The over-75 population in Chirnside Park is forecast to grow by 60% over the next decade. Our
retirement villages include supported living and a residential care centre, making it easy for
residents to move when their needs change.”

The site, at 266-268 Maroondah Highway, is a short distance from the Maroondah Golf Park and
Chirnside Park shopping centre, and on bus routes to nearby train stations.

Meanwhile, Summerset’s first Australian retirement village in Cranbourne North was progressing
well, with development approval expected shortly.

“Our Cranbourne North village designs are well progressed and we’re looking forward to
providing the area with modern retirement living options,” Mr Cook said.

Summerset also holds land in Torquay, on the Bellarine Peninsula, purchased in February 2020.
